The most successful MSPs rely on metrics – known as key performance indicators (KPIs) – for making informed decisions that help their businesses thrive, rather than just survive. This eBook provides an overview of the most important KPIs used by top MSPs.

Experts, I am looking for a paid CA Devtest Service Virtualization tutorial online. The tutorial offered by CA requires me to provide a company email address which I can't at the moment. Does anyone have information about any websites that offer the training? Any inputs appreciated.

I have two questions:
1. I first wanted to confirm how everything gets started. I take it, an empty master repository would first be created and the develop would be branched from that master branch?
2. If the company wants a QA branch in addition to all the other branches recommended in the model, my question is how is that best included so it creates less issues down the line?
- should the qa branch be cut from the master and then develop branch cut from qa?
- should both the qa branch and the develop branches be cut from the master, with merges taking place from develop to qa as needed?

Please note, the reason they don’t prefer to have a qa branch, is to allow cherry picking of the features included in the branch from the develop branch.

Trying to write a ClientBuilder based method (Java/selenium tool) that handles the following condition: The Request Body for this api should be of type multipart/form-data and it should have a boundary differentiated between file attached to form and form fields

I have done the mutli Part Content in c# but the group needs to be written in Java. Here's the c# code that works for creating the request body. I just having some mental blocks writting the Java HTTP Client version (could not find any realistic samples out there)

I will soon be starting a podcast that will ultimately feature 2 or 3 episodes weekly. I travel a fair amount, so I know that having a system in place that would allow me to have automated uploads on certain dates and times would enable the episode updating to be a smooth process.

"Uploads" may be a little off the mark. I already have some cron jobs ON a website (freelanced out, since I am not a techie) that replace existing files on he website each Friday with new ones at a specified day and time on a weekly basis that has run very well for a couple of years now. I upload the new files on Wednesday or Thursday at my convenience and that's all I have to do.

To be sure, the names of the uploaded files are exactly the same as the ones being updated (or simply written over, that is). I have not yet dug deeper into the names required for podcast files, if there are any such requirements, and want to get an expert view of what I want to do, as described.

I did some searching on Google, but they continue to descend into Internet Hell, insisting on providing search results that do not fit the search terms. On a recent trip. I needed to find a laundromat to do a load or two of laundry and a search on "laundromat" with the city name resulted in a list of DRY CLEANERS! Not even "close but no cigar" as far as I'm concerned.

I am using portecle to generate a java store cert for JIRA. I created the keystore, create the key pair, generated the CSR, processed the CSR using third party CA. I then imported the root cert into Portecle. When I import the CA response I get "could not establish trust for the CA reply. The import cannot proceed.
Why is this happening as everything appears correct.

Hi
Could anyone give me info on Jira insights asset management. I am interested to find out where Jira server should be located. I have multiple disconnected sites so I am unclear how the client connects back to the server and if I need to deploy beacon type servers to each site thanks

Fear not! To defend your business’ IT systems we’re going to shine a light on the seven most sinister terrors that haunt sysadmins. That way you can be sure there’s nothing in your stack waiting to go bump in the night.

looking for some sort of checklist or ideas in terms of criteria in which to critically appraise the performance of our IT service, which is partially in house and certain functions outsourced. I know there are obvious areas such as time to resolve incidents/service requests, uptime of critical apps etc. But was hoping if you work in a contract monitoring type role where you outsource certain IT functions if you have any criteria in which you audit/assess the relevant team against.

I`m a manual Quality Assurance. I really need an automation in my hard work. How should I good start? Have you any ideas? I use Selenium and C++ at my work. But is a basic C++ enough? I was thinking to go to college to take some C++ credits there. Maybe there something like https://domywriting.com/ which could help me in my work. I`m really lost in it because I don`t have the Computer science degree.

I have a JIRA instance that experienced problems recently and required a reinstall. Everything seems to be ok but jpeg images that were previously uploaded to projects are no longer showing. This is because images were previously on a different drive to JIRA installation. Now that I am on version 7 of JIRA I cannot change this location or it is not recommended. Is there any impact to simply copying the images to the new JIRA location in c:\porgram files? thanks

How to fill autocomplete text in selenium-Python Platform.
I need to enter the city information in the textbox.I tried using key.ARROW_DOWN, Keys.RETURN but it didn't workout. This textbox accepts the information only after clicking on the value from the drop-down list else it don't accept it. I am not sure how to select option from the drop-down list.
Kindly help on this issue.

My tester is adding bugs to a project and is complaining that there are no developers in the drop-down list of developers to assign the bug to... I'm not familiar with using TFS as a testing platform; is there a TFS role the developer need to be in?
I guess the base question is: What feeds the bug assignments drop-down list?

I am about to embark in the management of my company using JIRA tools.
I have been using trello, Smartsheets,Axosoft , Todoist.Assembla and toodledo.
So I do have some experience with Agile/Kanban.
I have set up JIRA yet I am faced with some "organizational dilemma".
My setup is as follows :
we are 4Developers.
2 fully dedicated to developing
1-Developing + managing the company (tasks/prioirities)
1 Developing + help desk

We are now managing around 30 Customers and we also have our own project (a New software to be launched in 2019)
I got JIRA software + confluence +Service Desk +Tempo Planner.
My question is how to configure JIRA.
1-Do I create a project per customer ? and if yes how to aggregate them later on ?
2-How to link the Service Desk to my project (s) - If I allow 1 customer to post on JIRA Desk shouldn't that ticket be also showing in the project

As you see my problems are related to "business" configuration. And I am expecting to need some help with this.
Where can I get that help ? Coz reading the JIRA help won't be enough. It helps me understand how the tool work , but not what is the best way to configure it !
Thanks

Hello,
I have submitted Selenium and Eclipse questions and they were never answered.
There are many topics that are "Proposed."
My assumption is that EE does not have Experts for these topics. Is my assumption correct?

Hello, we have several Access databases which run on VBA code. Due to the complexity of the forms, it is time consuming for us to run same quality checks on existing work with every new release, in order to see if any of the changes we made to the DB affected the existing forms functionality.

Therefore, what we need is an Automated QA Checks Software. We heard about a few, and we're trying them out on our DBs. At the moment, we are trying out Ranorex and TestComplete. However, it would be useful if anybody could send us some recommendations for any software of this kind, and it would be also very useful if you could let us know why is it your recommendation.

For now, we only need automated QA checks of the MS Access front-end GUI, running on VBA code.

If you have any experience with this kind of software, please let me know.
